DIY Decorative Clothespins
How to Make Chip Clips
- Clothespins
- Mod Podge, Gloss or Satin formula
- Decorative paper
- Scissors or paper cutter
- Brush
- Acrylic spray, optional
Steps to make DIY chip clips:
First, cut strips of paper the same width or slightly smaller than the width of the clothespins. Trim pieces to fit at the top and bottom of each side of the pin.
Brush a medium coat of decoupage over the wood on the pins. Press the matching paper piece over that section of the clothespin and smooth it down to remove any bubbles. Repeat on the other side of the pin.
Once that glue dries, apply two protective coats of Mod Podge over top of each section of paper, allowing it to dry between coats. Repeat on the other side of the clothespins. Seal with acrylic spray, as desired, if the decoupage is tacky.
